Pistons vs Bucks Prediction

The Bucks are in full-on tank mode, on the end of a back to back and just lost to the Nets last night as two-point favorites. The Pistons win games regardless of who is on the court but it looks like they could be full strength with Cade and Stewart listed as questionable instead of out. Massive number but there’s no reason to consider the Bucks. We’re seeing it around the league; a lot of these tanking teams are rolling over like a dead dog. It’s Pistons or pass for me.
